Currently, DC is moving forward with the upcoming Superman: Legacy, including cast announcements, pre-production procedures, and even confirmation on progress for upcoming projects like Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow And when Superman: Legacy is finally released, the entire DC cinematic universe will get a clean slate where anything is possible But for fans of one recent[...]

We've basically arrived at the end of the line for the current era of DC's current cinematic universe with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom And even though it wasn't planned to be this way, one could argue that the silver lining is having a chance to (mostly) wrap up a few storylines for fan-favorite actors[...]

Blue Beetle was a film that's already helped guide DC away from their previous stories and into something different, even though it's still technically not the beginning of that next "relaunch" era In superhero films, everything from an origin story to the significance of family and even a loss rocks the characters to their core[...]

Due to its complicated window of release, DC's recent film Blue Beetle was definitely impacted by the effects of the recent strike (including no promotional opportunities for its cast), which unfortunately caused the film to struggle to recoup its budget at the box office Despite that, the dark horse DC film still garnered buzz-worthy praise[...]

While there does appear to be a plan at DC Studios, what exactly is going on there still seems a bit up in the air and seems to get more and more confusing every single time a movie underperforms Three DC films underperformed this year, and one was even pretty good and didn't deserve it;[...]

Even though DC's Blue Beetle wasn't a huge box office hit with audiences, the film became a critical moment in the superhero genre after creating a big-budget flick that offered audiences overdue on-screen Latino representation – with a titular hero and authentic stories that aren't always the focus of comic book movies.

This film hasn't exactly had a smooth road to the box office, even though it is a sequel to one of the best DC movies box office wise That isn't the case, and the sequel to a film that came out in late 2018 is now being released in late 2023 after many delays due[...]
